Qamishli, Syria, March 30, 2025 (AFP) — The Kurdish-led administration in northwestern Syria on Sunday rejected the legitimacy of the new national government formed by the Islamist coalition that toppled longtime autocrat Bashar al-Assad in December.

"Any government that does not reflect the country's diversity and plurality cannot ensure proper governance of Syria," it said in a statement a day after the announcement of the government's formation, adding that "as a result, we do not consider ourselves bound by the implementation or enforcement of decisions made by this government."
